3 disciplines, 1 look

With Vincent, all good things come in threes: the number is not only reflected in his three-part name, but also characterizes his sport.

As a triathlete, he competes in three different disciplines and so Schwarz+Matt has made this number the cornerstone of the new corporate design: In the logo, the three parts of the names and disciplines are organized into a stand-alone logo. The application possibilities are almost unlimited. This means that Vincent can not only leave his branding on stationery and business cards, but also launch his own merchandising program.

The color coding is intuitively based on his sport: blue stands for calm water and a low heart rate after the start, green for the activating nature, the heart rate is still in the green range, red stands for the limit, for using the last reserves, the final sprint to the finish.

Community
and gain sponsors

In order to strengthen interaction with the community and further build the fan base, Instagram was integrated as an integral part of the personal brand’s marketing strategy. In a workshop, Vincent von Schwarz+Matt not only acquired the necessary know-how on the topic of content creation on social media, but also received helpful tips on how to take high-quality photos in everyday life.

In the practice-oriented intensive workshop, we developed the structure of his profile and, of course, created three highlights. With the help of the story function, these are not only filled with news from Vincent’s career as an athlete, but also contain personal insights from his everyday life as well as valuable tips on the vegan lifestyle. In this way, Vincent not only provides great added value, but also strengthens the bond with the community and promotes direct exchange.

The implementation of the strategy is already proving successful: as a child of the Ruhr region, he is arousing the interest of the community with his motto #pulseofsteel and his passion, and the number of followers is continuously increasing
